I'm running a Foxconn Mars with the 09 bios, 2x1gb of Patriot 6400 C4 and an E6550 and am trying to find the limit of the CPU, i've had it running at 532 fsb (Cas 5, 5, 5, 15) 1:1 stable enough to get into windows, play some games and havent had stupid temps at all, but whenever i try to go any higher, i get memory errors. I've swapped out the Patriot for some Ballistix Tracer i borrowed from a mate at the lan last weekend and still cannot get any higher than 532. I dont want to run 24/7 at those speeds, i'm happy at 3.5ghz for 24/7 usage, but i would like a screenshot or a CPU-Z Valid link for the max overclock.

Could anyone running the Mars give me some bios info, settings and what not, maybe even a new bios which would improve the FSB from 532?

I unfortunatley cannot show the voltages and stuff i was running since we dont have internets at home due to my housemate being a tard and not paying the bill. I can remember a few though..

CPU - 1.42v
VTT - 1.5v
RAM - 2.2v
NB - 1.403 i think, dont quote me.
SB - One bump up from stock.

MB cooling is stock with some AS5 applied. Doesnt get warm to the touch and temp readouts show a similar story, NB doesnt seem to go over 42 degrees, CPU doesnt touch 40 even under load.

Cooling - Fuzion on CPU, EK8800GTS on Graphics, Thermochill 120.3 and 160 with a D5 Basic Pump..

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
